In your husband's case, the giddiness and black outs are secondary reactions. It only means, his Immune system is low. So we need to proceed with cure. The first thing is to build his Immunity. Ashwagandha is the Herb -- You may buy its tincture,he may take 5 drops in a glass of water daily for a month. If its tincture is not available, he may try its capsule form. One capsule on alternate days for a month.For his one and only Kidney--Gokshura-- He should take it for a month. Either in its tincture form ( Tribulus Terrestris ) or capsule daily for a month.Varuna ( Crataeva Nurvala ) Take 10 drops of this tincture daily in a glass of water for a month. It is an excellent diuretic. removes, toxins and gravel, if any.It is advised that you consult your health care provider before taking any medication.RegardsHerbpathy Research Team( Make Life Healthy )

HasenRadish is cold in nature, so it is usually recommended that herbs with cold potency should not be taken at night. To some people , it might even cause joint pain or edema.So better not take it in the night.

I have cirrhosis of the liver and discomfort in the liver area. My blood tests are normal but I am concerned as I am very tired and feeling very under par. At present I am not on any medication, have added in a daily cup of fresh coffee, am cutting down on salt and fat in diet and eating fairly healthily (no alcohol). But I am concerned as my state of mind (possibly brain function) and energy levels are not good. Are there herbs that may help? Thank you

Dear Doctor, Two years back, I underwent angioplasty and I have been advised by my cardiologist to take 10 mg Ecosprin everyday night after having dinner. Many a days I feel drowsy, discomfort and I find difficult to pass stool. Of late, before dinner I am taking 5 cloves of garlic fried in cow ghee and for curd rice, I use lot of grated radish. After I started having garlic and radish, I feel energetic, drowsiness vanished and cool in my stomach. But I came across an article which forbids having radish along with milk products specially with curds which has made me sad. Will you kindly clarify the matter.

AnilaWe would recommend to take Green Leaf Juice for 15 days. You may read " The Genesis " page given in the Vibrant Health portal. Follow the protocol given there. After that, do the following------ --Take an Avocado thrice a week.--Add 2 teaspoons of Apple Cider Vinegar to a glass warm water and drink it twice in a day for 30 to 60 days.--Drink Lemon water twice in a day for a month. And let us know if your Diabetes is under control.

Drink Radish juice every day for 15 days. Morning, empty stomach. It is not sure that gall stones will get removed or not. If the size is big, consult the doctor and go for a planned surgery,before an emergency arises.

Since when is she taking Radish. Radish is cold in nature, it might give back pains, if taken in excess. So, if she feels that way. She may stop taking it.

For high triglycerides, take Ginger tea, one cup daily. Include garlic in your daily diet. APple CIder Vinegar is onoe of the ebst herbs to cure High Triglycerides.
